A jungle. a dark, wet jungle with a few small rivers here and there. I glid with the wind for quite a time. at first, I was surrounded by tiny floating spiderlings, but then it was just me and that other dude in the distance. my stomach hurt and I was hungry. at first, I was panicked, and a bit reluctant to even try to get anywhere. after a while, I got the hang of it. I had to change my path in order to not hit a tree and squash myself. ´ ahhhh, I'm hungry... !!` i then hit a tree. or at least my thread did. for a while, i just hanged in the wind, unable to actually step a foot on the giant tree.
´g-gotta pull myself in...´ i tried pulling myself in using two of my legs, as I had no idea how to use the other four of them, but sooner or later I would learn. ´hah... hah... I did it!´ i stood triumphantly on a branch, with my two front legs waving about in the air. now I could see where the hell I was. I was on a tree covered in moss, right beside a wide river. ´h-holy shit... if this tree hadn't caught me...´ i looked down on a brown, striped suspicious frog. ´it hasn't noticed me yet, but when it does...´ I shuttered at the idea of becoming some frogs snack. ´hm? wouldn't this be the perfect place for a spider to place its web?´ I looked over the river at another mossy tree. it was parallel to this one, and I got a great idea.
´huh?´ a voice sounded in my head, and black text appeared before my eight eyes. I stared at it in silence before thinking ´h-hey hey hey... am I hallucinating? that can't be...´ i looked long and hard at the screen, before saying ´yes?´in my head. I then released some Golden Silk. ´w-whoa...´ i fiddled a little with the silk, checking how tough it was, how stretchy and its stickiness. it was really sticky, as I could not pull it off the tree. it was also tough, I couldn't really test it, but even if I pulled with all my might, it didn't rip in the least. ´o-ok... perfect! I know exactly what to do!´ I then jumped off the tree with the Golden Silk hanging from my abdomen, connecting myself to the tree.

as I was still a light little spiderling, I easily floated across with the wind, but that wasn't the dangerous part. luckily for me, the frog didn't notice me or it thought I was a wasp or something. ´hoh! I did it!´ i landed on the tree, and quickly affixed the Golden Silk to a branch. ´ok... now to get back and redo it...´ i put my two arms and legs on the Golden Silk and climbed it upside down. the other four legs I didn't have as human were hanging down, but I didn't mind them. I took one step, then two... then three. ´t-this is hard...´ i let a strand of Golden Silk hang down, and I shuffled across the fine, golden silk. after a long while of stopping, looking at the frog and the shuffling again, I finally reached the first tree.
´... I gotta call this guy something... just tree has no ring... hmm´ i though deeply about pointless things, such as what to call frog, golden silk, and tree. I finally decided that tree would be called ´Leif` which sounds like Leaf, Golden Silk would be called Goldie and the frog would be called Dick. ´ok, now to stick Goldie on Leif...´ i went around Leif, stringing him up with Goldie. ´ok, now there are two strings of Goldie connecting the trees... and I still have no idea how to make a spider web. how about I just go up and down, zig-zagging it and then connecting the zig-zags with more Goldie? wouldn't that work? I mean, it wouldn't be like the classic spider web... but I dunno what else to do...´
< due to your use of -Golden Silk Lv1-, "Goldie" as it will now be referred to, has leveled up to -Goldie Lv2->
